Performance: yes. Robustness: no, absolutely not. You can hose the whole
filesystem with some smallish hard drive damages with reiser if it hits
the data structures at an unfortunate place, while ext3 is a lot more
robust when it comes to hardware failures, because there are less single
points of failure in the way the filesystem is organized.

But this is becoming increasingly off-topic for this list.
